Andalusia will stop requiring the Covid passport from Tuesday

The Minister of Health and Families of the Junta de Andalucía, Jesús Aguirre, announced this Saturday that the rule that requires having the Covid passport in the region to access nightlife, hospitality, health and social health establishments will decline this Tuesday.

"On the 15th (this Tuesday) the

that was requested for the Covid passport is fulfilled, we are not going to request the renewal, then the Covid passport obligation for nightlife, restaurants, health and social health establishments will expire. From this Tuesday it will no longer be mandatory in Andalusia", Aguirre stressed in statements to the media in Córdoba.

The Covid certificate or negative diagnostic test for coronavirus for access in Andalusia to the interior space of hospitality, leisure and recreation establishments has been in force since December

.

Regarding visits to health centers with internment and residential social health centers, it was required from December 7.

However, it will continue to be

to certain countries, something that transcends the powers of the Board and depends on the agreements that Spain signs at a national level or through the European Union.

Aguirre explained that this decision is made because both the incidence and

are falling, with around 600 fewer hospitalized for Covid in a week.

"The decrease in hospital pressure indicates that the sixth wave is in clear remission and we hope to reach a stabilization phase in 10-15 days," he pointed out.

Regarding

, the region is in the "normalization phase", to the point that the counselor has ensured that the Salud Responde telephone system "answers anyone who calls".

"I invite anyone who needs it to call Salud Responde and see the promptness and promptness," he added.

Thus, the average delay is 3.76 days to be attended, which "falls within the normal range."

"I WANT TO GIVE THE FIRST CHICOTA"

Likewise, he has assured that the large volume of Andalusians who have been infected with the Ómicron strain "has also created a

", in addition to that acquired by the vaccines, so that, unless a new variant came along that was not sensitive to antibodies due to natural or acquired immunity, "we could already reach a phase of stabilization, of tranquility".

"The virus has come to stay with us, which is why I ask all Andalusians for caution."

He has added.

Regarding

and the impact of the virus in the future, he said that "possibly the virus will stay and have small peaks, coinciding with the time of high attendance, especially autumn-winter."

Asked about the celebration of

this year, he elaborated that he expects "a calm, relaxed spring, greeting us, with the odd noise as is so typical of our autonomous community", but that "if some measure has to be taken, will take."

"Time will tell us. We have a lot of time left. I am optimistic and I want to give La Borriquita the first chicotá," he concluded.
